At LightArt we have one goal - to make handmade lighting like you’ve never seen. This year we realized we were missing the tiniest light of all - the tea light. And so Flare was born.

A miniature version of the organic, handmade shapes you see from our studio every day. With Flare, we hope to bring a tiny bit of colorful illumination and creativity to your table, your desk or anywhere you live and work.

Each year, LightArt’s staff takes time to step out of the studio and find creative inspiration that’s meaningful to us. This year, we looked to the natural world, bringing in the talents of natural dyer Kathy Hattori from Botanical Colors.

With her help, we created four original patterns, inspired by spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Rich combinations of indigo, cochineal, osage orange, dahlia flowers, and madder root were applied to create the wild immersion of colors seen in these chromatic tealights.
